Project-Based Growth Strategy Engagement

A flat-fee, fixed-scope project for firms that want a concrete deliverable before committing to an ongoing relationship. Often the "foot in the door" that leads to an advisory or fractional retainer.

Typical scope:

• Discovery sessions with ELT, sales, and delivery
  
  

• Market and competitive analysis for new service line or up-market move
  
  

• Financial modeling: GM, spread, pricing, ramp assumptions
  
  

• Deliverable: Growth Strategy document with a 12-month execution roadmap

Engagement structure: 

Value-based priced project. Internally, you can assume your hourly rate can be double what you would typically do within a retainer model - or whatever total project rate is justified for the value you are bringing. Hourly rates and hours are not discussed within this type of engagement - only the end deliverables.
